FAQ
WHAT IS LIFE COACHING FOR KIDS
Just as you would hire me to tutor your child if they were struggling with reading, life coaching for kids is available to support a child who is struggling with the challenges of growing up, such as:
Standing up to peer Pressure
Positive self-talk, confidence, and self-esteem
Adapting to change
Overcoming mistakes
Managing fear
Achieving their goals
And much, much more!
A life coach supports children in navigating these complex challenges, helps them reach their fullest potential, and creates happy, fulfilling lives!
AREN’T PARENTS SUPPOSED TO COACH THEIR CHILDREN ON THESE TOPICS?
Yes, a parent is a child's first and most important teacher! Your child will learn many essential skills from you as a parent.
However, these skills are some of the most challenging ones to teach; sometimes, a third party can make all the difference for your child.
If you are like me, you didn't learn these skills at a young age, and we were left to figure it out on our own. By the time I reached adulthood, these old habits and beliefs were ingrained in me. It took me a great deal of time and money to overcome them. Most training and books are geared toward adults on these topics, but wouldn't it be far more effective to touch on these core belief systems that can significantly affect our young lives before it becomes deeply ingrained and a problem as an adult? This work helps children reach their most significant potential and allows them to create happy, fulfilling lives!
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILD NEEDS COACHING?
Life coaching is all about empowering children through mindset development. Your child will learn how to take control of their life by using the power of positive thoughts to create confidence, happiness, and success. These are skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. They will empower your child to make goals, visualize their dreams, and have the confidence to take on whatever challenges they face. Coaching is not just for those who visibly struggle or experience challenges but for those who want their child to build upon their mindset and growth. This program will help children grow into positive, healthy, confident, well-rounded human beings!
HOW IS COACHING KIDS DIFFERENT THAN COACHING ADULTS?
Life coaching for adults involves a questioning process. The coach helps bring self-discovery and awareness to their life and then supports them in creating a plan to make positive changes.
Coaching for kids is much more than that because we work with children and need to accommodate their developing brains. They cannot make the same connections as adults through discussions and critical thinking alone. Instead, we use the power of stories, discussions, and follow-up activities to help children experience the skill through someone else's shoes and then relate it to their own lives. This process is very effective and empowering for children and brings about the power of their thoughts to create happiness, confidence, and success in their lives.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE COACHING FOR KIDS AND COUNSELING?
Life coaching and counseling have similarities, but they are not the same. Both involve asking critical questions, listening, and finding patterns in children’s lives.
However, counseling for those with more severe issues such as anxiety, depression, or OCD. Other examples are situations where a child might need help through a personal crisis at home, such as an illness, divorce, or abuse.
Life Coaching is unique in that it helps children get from where they are currently to where they ultimately want to be in life. If you want to help your child create an extraordinary future through a positive mindset, creating a happy, fulfilling life, then life coaching is an excellent fit for you!
ARE STORIES REALLY THAT POWERFUL? WHAT IF MY CHILD CAN'T READ YET?
Yes, stories are a compelling way to teach concepts to children. As an educator of 10 years and a mom, I understand the value of teaching children through stories, and I am honored to guide children through this positive mindset work at a young age so they can lead happy, healthy, and prosperous lives.
The Adventures in Wisdom program is designed for children ages 6-12. If your child is not a strong reader yet, no worries! I will help the story come to life through reading aloud, creating discussions, and follow-up activities. If your child can read, great! The Wisdom stories are at a 5th-grade reading level and can be adapted to meet any child where they are currently on their reading journey.
HOW ARE THE COACHING PACKAGES DIFFERENT THAN SIGNING UP FOR READING TUTORING? CAN THEY BOTH BE DONE? HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY TAKE?
I tend to sprinkle this positive coaching work throughout my tutoring services. It is what gives me a very unique and effective approach to my reading program, but if you are looking for a more in-depth experience in a specific skill area you would like to see your child grow in, then signing up for one of my life coaching packages is the best option for you!
Simultaneously signing up for a tutoring and life coaching package is feasible. Please reach out to me, and we will create an individualized plan for your child based on their specific needs.
Tutoring generally consists of meeting one to two times a week for an hour or 1/2 an hour, depending on your child's package, learning plan, and specific needs. Similarly, coaching packages require meeting for typically an hour a week, and the coaching packages range from 5-8 weeks long.
However, if you would like your child to receive one-on-one coaching with me, when can you customize a package to meet their specific needs.
Most clients take one package and are so satisfied with the results that they move through my entire list! These skills take time, and repetition is key. It takes time to change a habit and your child's thinking patterns. Therefore, I require children to take a minimum of two of my packages upon signing up.
ARE YOU READY TO GIVE YOUR CHILD THE GIFT OF A CONFIDENT, HAPPY, FULFILLING LIFE?
I believe all children deserve this opportunity to find peace and happiness in life and within themselves! I look forward to meeting with you and your child to help them get on the path to a positive mindset, building confidence, high self-esteem, and happiness!
